Left-back Ferdi Kadıoğlu, who was also courted by BVB this summer, is about to sign for Brighton & Hove Albion. According to his current club Fenerbahce, the 24-year-old is travelling to England to undergo a medical. An official confirmation of the transfer from the Seagulls should follow shortly.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the entire package will cost the Premier League club 30 million euros. This exact sum was only generated once from a departure in the Süper Lig: Sacha Boey’s transfer from Galatasaray to FC Bayern last January.
Kadıoğlu is under contract with Fenerbahce until 2026, but he is set to sign for five years with Brighton. Since his arrival from Nijmegen in 2018, the European Championship participant has increased his market value at Fenerbahce from 1.5 million to 30 million euros. The Dutch will receive a share of any resale and will also receive training compensation. Brighton has made room in the squad for Ferdi Kadıoğlu and loaned the 20-year-old Argentinian left-back Valentín Barco to Sevilla FC on Friday.
